Minchey
- Thread starter Bootleg11
- Start date
I don’t hate it.
Verified at 6-foot-1 ½ and 207-pounds in June of 2022. Possesses a sturdy frame with wide shoulders and a strong lower half. Possesses growth potential to add necessary weight to his frame. Although his height would be categorized as undersized for the position, his 10-inch hands are in the 70% percentile of NFL starters.
Displays good athleticism and mobility to extend plays in and outside the pocket. Quick twitch athlete with natural avoid and escape ability. Flashes excellent pocket instincts and awareness while keeping his eyes down the field. Appears to possess a good play temperament, rarely playing rushed amidst pressure.
Possesses a quick release and strong arm capable of making every throw on the field. Exhibits natural instincts and excels on the move outside the pocket as a passer. Demonstrates the ability to consistently play with touch and anticipation, while showing the ability to throw his receivers open. An instinctive passer that has a knack for understanding how to extend plays within the pocket with his subtle athleticism and ability to keep his eyes down field as plays develop.
Although sample size as a senior was limited due to injury, he improved his completion percentage from 61% as a junior to 73% as a senior in four games. A savvy pocket passer with excellent game management skills, Minchey projects to a high level multi-year starter at the Power Five level. Has a good understanding of the position and processes the game quickly. Would not be surprised if he makes an impact sooner than later at the next level.

wow he didnt fall to the ground when someone was in his face and delivered a pass after eluding the blitz...
I had talked a bit on here that Stewart, Rhule, and Holgo were going to have a tough decision at QB. Do you go get someone with production at this level and watch Lateef transfer out, leaving you with only one scholarship QB on your roster for 2026 (obviously they would go get some backup pieces). Or do you get a guy that hasn't really played, no real production, but has high upside due to high school rankings to come in and battle it out with Lateef. The answer is obviously the latter.
I don't really like it, but it's probably the most realistic option. If we can grab one more guy like him, I'll be on board. I want 3 guys that haven't really shown anything going at it, not just two. You need another scholarship QB anyway, can't roll in with 2 for the 2026 season.
Production > Potential

No Joe Ganz? Now I agree with @Herbie , he’s mid
What’s the first thing our moron coach does when he knows we need elite linemen on both sides of the ball. You guessed it. Not that
TBF, he needs a qb as well
Agree. Need another quality portal guy that adds value to the room. Not another Davila who ends up 4th string behind walk ons.
Also, I'm not at all worried about TJ transferring if he doesn't like it. He's very replaceable. Btw, I don't think he has that attitude. He strikes me as a competitor who isn't going to get ran off. Will try and earn it on his own merits.

He is a team player for sure, QB is just a different animal. There's only one that plays on a team for the most part. I know a lot of fans say "it's ok to be the backup because look, Lateef played as one" and that's just not reality for these kids. It's a nice dream for fans, but that's not how it works.
If they brought someone in that had production at this level, they would have had to pay him quite a bit and guarantee him the starting spot, which would have drove Lateef out. I would have been fine with that, the problem is, there's a report that the North Texas QB is getting 7 million to head to Okie State. We would probably have to pay close to 5 million. Minchey we can get for far less than that AND keep Lateef here.
Unfortunately I think you'll see another Davila type guy in the fold, but I'm ok with that. They really aren't going to be able to get someone the caliber of Minchey for the third scholarship guy.
T-Fraz?
We'll coach that out of him, don't you worry
I came to the opposite conclusion - that no matter what we’re saying, he’s going to be the starter.
